UNITED STATE-S CHARLES LEFKOWI-TZ, 0F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

CARBOY.

Application led January 5, 1924.

`T0 all whom t 0am/ corn-cern.'

Be it known that lf, CHARLES Lnrirowi'rz, a citizen of the 'United States, anda resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented -a new and .Improved Carboy, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its yobject to provide a carboy which may -be Constructed with a limited amount of material, the construction being such that the carboy is off great strength to withstand 'shocks and strains.

Another object of the invention is to provide panels which a-re removably disposed in the carb-oy, the panels having shoulder members, each shoulder member having a side forming with its vouter face an acute angle, the said side on each shoulder member engaging a correspond-ing side on an adjacent shoulder `'member "to `prevent the inward movement of the lpanels in the carboy.

vStill other objects of the invention are to lprovide a-cushioning device atftlie bottom of the carboy and a cover having depending means for engaging the vcar'boy.

Additional 'objects 'of 'the invention will appear in the following specification in which "the preferred form o'f my invention is described.

1n the drawings similar reference characters refer "to similar lparts in yall the views i-n which,-

Fig. 1 is a horizontal sectional view showing my improved carboy;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the arrangement ofthe panels with their 'shoulders disposed at each other;

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view showing the upper portion of one v4of the shoulder menibers on the panelsand;

Fig. 5 is a view showing iii elevation, yone of the panels.

By referring to the drawings it willy be seen that the body of the carboy, which is illustrated in the drawings is octagonal in shape but it will be understood that this is not essential and that a carboy body may be used of another shape.

In the bottom of the carboy body 10, there is disposed a cushioning device consisting of two parallel horizontal supporting members 11, connected at their underside by a member 12, the ends of the horizontal supporting members 11 being raised from the sei-iai No. 684,635.

bottom of the carboy by supports 13, these supports l'being-disposed between shoulder :members ofthe panels which will shortly be described. Disposed at an angle to the `horizontal supporting members 11, 'there are horizontal 'supporting members 14, these horizontal supporting members 1% being disposed abovethe horizontal supporting members 11 and lhaving their ends raised from 'the bottom of the carboy 4body 10 by the vengage the inner sides of the body 10, the

outer sides 19 of the shoulder members 17 having faces which are disposed in planes extending substantially through the center lline ofthe body, the said faces inthe construction illustratedin the drawings being disposed at acute angles to the outer faces 18 "of the shoulder members 17. As the shoulder members 17 enga-ge each other lat their 'face 19 this construction prevents the inwa-rd movement of the panels relatively to the body 10. The .panels have horizontal supports for engaging the sides of the bottle, th'esef'liorizontal supports 2O being secured to the shoulder members 17 as best illustrated in Fig. 5 of the drawings. In addition,fthe,'pane`ls have bottom members 21,

'the ends of which yare disposed in the cutaway portions 22 in 'the shoulder members 17, the 4bottoni members 21 being secured to the VVshoulder members 17 and resting on the horizontal support-ing members 11 and 14. to hold the horizontal supporting members 11 and 14"i at the bottom of the body. In addition, the panels have top members 23 which have their ends disposed in the cutaway portions 24 in the shoulder members 17 and which are secured to the shoulder members. These top members 23 of the panels are engaged by the depending shoulders 25 on the cover 26 and it will therefore be seen that when the cover is disposed in position on the body 10, that it will serve to hold the panels in position and itr will also hold the horizontal supporting members 11 and 14 in position. Secured to the depending shoulders 25 on the cover 26, there are bottle supports 27, these bottle supports 27 extending across the carboy and havingtheir ends secured to the bottom of the shoulders 25, the supports 27 having cut-out portions 28 to fit the shoulder on the bottle.

The supports 13 and 15 lit between the shoulder members 17 as is illustrated in the drawings so that the lateral movement of the supports 13 and 15 is prevented by Contact with the shoulder members 17.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

1. In a carboy a body, a plurality of panels in the body, each panel having two shoulder members one at each side, each shoulder member having an outer side forming with its outer face an acute angle, each shoulder member at eachl outer side engaging the outer'side of a shoulder member on an adj acent panel to prevent the inward movement of the panels.

2. In a carboy a body, a plurality of panels in the body,'each panel having two shoulder members one at each side, each shoulder member having an outer side extending in a plane passing substantially through the center of the carboy, each shoulder member at its outer side engaging the outer side of a shoulder member on an adjacent panel to prevent the inward movement of the panels.

3. In a carboy a body, having sides disposed at angles to each other, a plurality of panels in the body, each panel having two shoulder members one at each side, each shoulder member having an outer face ena side of the body and an outer side having a face engaging the face on the outer side of a shoulder member on an adjacent panel.

4l. In a c arboy a body, two panels in the body, each with a shoulder member, the shoulder members having faces which en gage each other to prevent the inward movement of the panels at the shoulder members.

5. In a carboy, a body, two horizontal supporting members spaced apart at the bottom of the body, supports :tor the ends of the members and means secured to the members and connecting them together between their ends.

6. In a carboy a body, two horizontal supporting members spaced apart at the bottom of the body, supports for the ends of the members, means connecting the members together between their ends, an` additionall horizontal supporting member disposed at an angle to the first mentioned supporting members to engage the latter and supports for the ends of the said additional horizontal supporting member.

7. In a carboy a body, panels in the body, each having two shoulder members, a horizontal supporting member at the bottom of the body, two supports for the horizontal supporting member each disposed between and at two of the shoulder members to be held in place by the latter.

8. In a carboy a body, panels in the body each having `two shoulder members, a plurality of horizontal supporting members disposed across each other at the bottom of the body and supports for the horizontal supporting members, each disposed between and at shoulder members to be held in place by the latter.

9. In a carboy an octagonal body, eight panels in the body one adjacent each of its sides, two shoulder members for each panel each shoulder member having an outer face engaging a side of the body andan outer side, the surface of the outer side of each shoulder member engaging a corresponding surface on the outer side of an adjacent shoulder member.

10. In a carboy, a body, panels in the body for supporting the sides of a bottle which may be disposed in the body, a cover for the body and dependent shoulders on the cover, the bottoms of which normally engage the top of the panels to hold the latter in place.

11. In a carboy a body, horizontal supe porting members at the bottom of the body, supports for the horizontal supporting menr bers, panels having members engaging the horizontal supporting members to hold the latter in place, a cover for the body and depending shoulders on the cover for engaging the panels to hold the panels down.
